Hello everyone, Happy Friday!
Cherry blossoms (Sakura tree) are flowering around Vancouver! You can walk in UBC’s Nitobe Memorial Garden to enjoy the view of soft pink petals falling gently.
Perhaps because of the great weather, there isn’t much news in my inbox in week. Anyhow, below are the news for the week.

The Grove Medal has been awarded to Professor David Wilkinson. The Medal will be awarded to Professor Wilkinson on 3rd April during the Fuel Cells 2014 Science & Technology Symposium when he will deliver the Grove Medal Address.
Volunteering for GSS Photo Shooting
Help GSS spruce up their communications! The GSS is planning a photo shoot on the afternoon of March 28th, and they’re looking for some volunteers to help them showcase the services they provide to graduate students and the larger UBC community. It will be fun! They won’t ask more than 2hrs of your time, and they will throw in a meal from Seedlings Cafe or Koerner’s Pub! Please drop them an email at: execassistant@gss.ubc.ca
